Camarones Rancheros Quesa Tacos

Camarones Rancheros are super typical where my family is from, Mazatlan, Sinaloa. We often eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner. There really is never a specific time. Hope that you and your family love them too!

Ingredients:

For Camarones Rancheros:

1 lb. Shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped

1 serrano/jalapeño/guero pepper, chopped

1 anaheim/poblano pepper, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup Roma Tomato, chopped

1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons Oil of choice

Fresh Ground Black Pepper

Kosher Salt

For Quesa Tacos:

8 Corn Tortillas

1 cups Oaxaca/Mozarella/Monterrey Jack Cheese (Any Melting Cheese works)

Makes 8 Tacos / 4 servings

Directions:

1. Begin by placing a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add oil and Onion, Peppers, and Garlic to pan. Sauté for 2-4 minutes or until onion are transparent.

2. Add Tomato and mix throughly and saute for 2 minutes.

3. Begin pre-heating comal/griddle pan for heating tortillas on medium-high heat.

4. Add Shrimp to saute pan with tomato and peppers mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until shrimp has just lost its grey color. Turn off heat and remove pan from heat. Fold in chopped cilantro.
